Working across styles and mediums, but with a concentration on sculpture, Renaud Jerez (b. 1982, Narbonne, France) uses craft and industrial materials to create haunting, humorous, and abject sculptures that imagine the future through monsters and ruins. Intricate and violent, these forms frequently present a human form consumed with architecture and technology. Renaud Jerez’s recent solo exhibitions include : Crèvecœur, Paris (FR), Musée des Abattoirs, Toulouse (FR), ICA, Miami (US), Jenny’s, Los Angeles (US), National Gallery, Prague (CZ).
